CELAC-EU summit addresses new strategic partnership

He told heads of government gathered in Chile for the first summit of the Community of Latin America and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the first CELAC-European Summit that a 13 percent increase in exports per year in Latin American countries is a clear sign of a revival.

CELAC was established in December 2011 by the 33 independent countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.
